Comment on: Blog Post 'Here's A New One - A Candidate Who Will Not Supply References': s being at the current employer. Old coworkers and bosses being scattered to the wind or unavailable. The candidate explained the situation and we worked it out. We came up with a plan that satisfactory to both sides. Just as a reasonable employer would never want a candidate to do anything to put their current employment in danger during the interview process.; A reasonable candidate knows that references are a very standard expectation when getting hired. This lady has some control issues I suspect and will cause problems for her employer if hired. For the record I prefer to check references towards the end of the interview stage where it appears an offer not yet made is expected. OR if a candidate lives in a different city from the prospective job I will check the references as soon as interest has been established by the client but before the candidate travels for the interview. …; Added by Elise Reynolds at 2:07pm on February 24, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'So, you want to be a recruiter?': NG other than that, is laughable. Companies such as those are as American as apple pie, pseudo-puritan ethos, and invading oil producing countries under UN resolutions. I do agree that the face, identity, philosophies, etc. of the profession called "Recruiter" should be changed for the "talent procurement, candidate/client focused, customer service" side of the profession-- to distinguish from the juggernaut-esque, industrial staffing conglomerates. Maybe a name change is in order-- Talent Consultant, Procurement Specialist, Position Coordinator, Placer, Replentor, .... hmmm.... how about "Pundit Matriculator"--- ok, that's it--- I am no longer a recruiter by trade or profession any longer, I'm officially a professional Senior Pundit Matriculator, (or PuMa for short), utilizing full Matrics principles and procedures in a "professional induction or conscriptive employment environment", in compliance with state and federal "Body Politic" regulations governing "satisfactory human experience" in the workplace. Hmmm.... not bad, huh? I think I'll put that on my business card.…; Added by Mat von Kroeker at 12:45pm on June 13, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Do you want to be right or do you want paying customers?': for them. So, with that in mind....I try to keep them very very happy. I have 2 types of guarantees in place. The first is that I expect to be paid after the candidate completes 90 days of satisfactory service. If there is any doubt, either release the candidate and pay me nothing OR ask me for more time. The second option is one that my smaller clients sometimes prefer - pay 1/3 at 30 day intervals. Whatever "I've earned" I can keep - the balance is not paid until the next 30 days. But I take this one step further: if, after the guarantee has expired and my contractual obligation has been fulfilled and a problem crops up - I will usually offer some sort of credit on a future placement...maybe 25% of what they've paid. This of course is only with a valued client...if, I'm not interested in working with this client again - I will stand firm on my policy. However, most of my clients are valued and I will do whatever it takes, within reason, to keep them happy. I have 100% client retention. As I said, I couldn't agree with you more!…; Added by Katherine Anne Farrell at 11:09am on July 8, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'What all recruiters WANT to say to their dumb clients': with the territory and it's just something with which you have to put up. But frankly I put a lot of work, and time, building up rapport with candidates (I was once one of them) and getting them excited about the positions so I feel it acutely when they're on the receiving end of this type of experience. Little by little though I'm ironing out these creases as I go along. We're a small shop so there's a ceiling on the number of assignments we can handle anyway and I now work, I know this might sound counterintuitive if not indeed perverse, on keeping the number of assignments low. Once that habit of thought begins to take root potential clients, who thought they were going to call "all" the shots gently, and I always maintain high levels of courtesy, discover over the course of our initial conversation that I haven't decided whether I want to work with them. I stress though that I allow this to gently seep into conversation as opposed to hammering a stake into the ground overtly. What's crucial though is that you must be for real, i.e. if it isn't feeling right then you really have to be prepared to walk away from that job. I've done this many times now and it's surprising how often HR, or whomever you're dealing with, arrives back in a week or two with an altered attitude and if they don't I simply take it that I, and my candidates have dodged a bullet. I'm still far from eradicating this type of experience completely but to me it's a project which will need many refinements before I'm happy that I have a satisfactory working model. However by at least taking these small steps and a different frame of mind to the table I've already saved myself countless hours of wasted time and grief, ditto for my candidates. …; Added by David Hall at 6:41am on August 22, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Out on my own and need your advice...': e to any training sessions or events due to lack of funds and my computer is about 7 years old. It is not working well and she gets very little business. I have been lucky this last month to get a few good openings although I haven't filled them yet so I can't say I have contributed a lot of money yet! I do have hopes that I will fill a couple of them.In the past I have done well by her, giving her a lot of fees! She is not good at cold calling where I am better than she is. She also doesn't give me as many candidate referrals as I wish she would. My fear is the outlay costs, a new computer, rent, a website, ad costs which are minimal, and health insurance which will be my biggest cost! But I am handing over and have been for the last 18 years a huge portion of my commissions to her. A recruiter left 2 years ago and years before we had about 5 recruiters in all. I think I have to cut the ties and try this on my own. Since the biggest expense is the health insurance I will do cobra for the first 18 months and then see what else I can get....maybe Ichip but that too is expensive. Monica, do you live in Illinois? I would be happy to network with you if I can help you with any "candidate" suggestions and if I need help with other searches I too would be happy to work some splits with you. I mainly concentrate on administrative assistants, legal secretaries, paralegals, a tiny bit of HR positions and anything else that I think I can satisfactorily fill. I did place a dentist one year ago and that worked out well. So please let me know if any of you have any suggestions. I feel bad because my boss is my friend and older and she has been very nice to me. She just doesn't have the knowledge or experience to help me grow my business or help me with a lot of other things due to the cost.…; Added by Jody Schwartz at 2:59pm on February 13, 2011
